I would love to see Christian win the World Heavyweight Title, only for Edge to turn on him claiming it was "his moment, his match, his title, his WrestleMania," but there's only one problem with this scenario: Alberto Del Rio.
Del Rio has been built up so strongly and so well so far, but he's taken some losses in recent weeks. The guy seems to have legitimately boosted business for the WWE in Mexico, and although he is a heel, if he loses, where does he go from there?
Now, I'm all for holding off big wins until the timing is right. Last year, although Wade Barrett could have very easily been booked to win the WWE Title, I think it was the right call to hold it off, and to really continue to build Barrett a bit more. Del Rio will be a big deal no matter what, and can lose this match and still be fine -- but the timing for Del Rio seems about right. The only option for Del Rio is he loses is to become a bit more introverted, snap, and start taking people out left, right and centre. The WWE could very easily go that route, and it could work, but I could also see them fucking it up, and Del Rio becoming "just another guy."
It might be a better option to have Christian take out Brodus Clay and Ricardo Rodriguez, only for him to miss Del Rio and nail Edge with a steel chair, and as the ref stirs, Christian has to bail and Del Rio gets the big win. This seeds the tension between Edge and Christian, but it might be wiser to hold back on pulling the trigger until Extreme Rules.
Now if the WWE wanted to go with The Miz retaining, I think something like you suggested would be the best thing the WWE could do to counter-balance it. But then you have The Miz and Christian as your World Champions. Is that enough fire-power?
